<<<have to buy a program that really works. >>> Paid programs have the advantage of acquiring all the license fees and generally come with their own sound operating environment. Audacity has to add all these things on as separate programs and plugins and it's generally a complete slave to the existi...

32-bit floating is not supported by everybody. It's a great mode to do production because it's less likely to damage the sound on extensive effects, but if your eventual goal is iTunes or your iPod, stick with 16 bit--or convert to 16. 44100 16 bit is extremely standard, but many people consider it ...

<<<I was not successful in converting tracks from i-tunes.>>> itunes tracks are in AAC format which Audacity doesn't understand. In addition, purchased tracks have FairPlay copy protection applied to them which makes it very difficult to "borrow" the music. You posted in a forum where we d...

Echoes are the speaker's own voice coming back to the microphone later than the original performance. Anything that affects echoes also affects the performance. They're t...

<<<currently only in .aup format,>>> Or more accurately, in Audacity Project format. the AUP file is only one of a great many files which make up your show. I personally would Export As WAV immediately to get the show--even broken--as a stable WAV file that you can use as a backup and even copy to a...

<<<The windows Sound recorder works... but with the same problem>>> <<<Under Linux everything workds fine>>> Clearly a software problem. You join a very large club of people suffering from bad Windows software. <<<By the way: Is my english readable? I'm from germany...>>> It's perfectly obvious you'...

<<<and bring across the aup and data files.>>> Don't fall in love with that process. It's a lot more brittle than you think. As long as your Projects are really simple and you pay strict attention to the directories and folder locations, it works. We tell people you can't email a project because at ...
